What is the BIOVIA Desktop Connector? The BIOVIA Desktop Connector is a desktop application for Windows and macOS that enables communication between BIOVIA applications running in users' web browsers, and local desktop applications like BIOVIA Draw, ChemDraw, and Microsoft Office. It also provides access to the client computer's file system and clipboard. The Desktop Connector supersedes the BIOVIA Plugin application that was available up until the BIOVIA 2018 product releases. It provides a limited set of operations, such as opening documents, getting files, and getting clipboard objects. These are defined in application-specific plugin libraries. The Desktop Connector can run in Legacy modes or Messaging Service mode: Legacy modes: These are the communication modes that were formerly provided by the BIOVIA Plugin. Depending on the browser being used, BIOVIA applications communicate with the Desktop Connector via ActiveX or a WebSocket service on the local server. Messaging Service mode: BIOVIA web applications communicate with the BIOVIA Desktop Connector via a Messaging Service that is installed on the application's server computer, or on a "standalone" server. Applications That Use the Desktop Connector Applications that use the Desktop Connector include: BIOVIA Notebook: Uses the Desktop Connector to interact with Microsoft Office (Word, Excel), and molecular structure drawing applications (BIOVIA Draw, ChemDraw, Marvin), the local file system, and the computer's clipboard. BIOVIA Experiment: Uses the Desktop Connector to take and store screen cuttings from BIOVIA Experiment and other applications. It also uses it to share cuttings with BIOVIA Notebook. BIOVIA Chemical Registration and Biological Registration: Use the Desktop Connector to launch and receive data from structure drawing applications such as BIOVIA Draw and ChemDraw. What is the Messaging Service? The Desktop Connector Messaging Service is a service on the server computer that mediates between the Desktop Connector and applications on the client computer. It must be installed in order for the Desktop Connector to run in Messaging Service mode (see Communication Modes of the Desktop Connector), and to serve the web page from which users download the Desktop Connector client. Desktop Connector 2020 • Messaging Service Administration Guide | Page 1 Chapter 1: Introduction Do I Need to Install the Messaging Service? You must install the Messaging Service if either of the following is true: The Desktop Connector that you provide to users does not run in the Legacy modes, and those users do not use Internet Explorer to access BIOVIA applications. The Desktop Connector is not supplied to users of BIOVIA applications from an application-specific download page (as is the case with Notebook). Page 2 | Desktop Connector 2020 • Messaging Service Administration Guide Chapter 2: Communication Modes of the Desktop Connector The BIOVIA Desktop Connector supports the "Legacy" communication modes that were provided by the BIOVIA Plugin until the 2018 product releases. It adds support for a new "Messaging Service" communication mode. Each BIOVIA web application uses the communication mode appropriate to its requirements. The mode is configured in the web application. For use in Messaging Service mode, the Desktop Connector requires the Messaging Service to be set up on the server computer. This procedure is described in Installing the Messaging Service. Legacy Modes The Legacy modes are the communication modes that were provided by the BIOVIA Plugin application until the 2018 BIOVIA product releases. The Desktop Connector continues to support these modes. If a BIOVIA web application is configured to use the Legacy modes, the Desktop Connector chooses a mode according to which browser is being used: Microsoft Internet Explorer (Windows): The web application communicates with the Desktop Connector using an ActiveX browser plugin. Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox (Windows): The web application communicates with the Desktop Connector using a WebSocket service on the local network (localhost). The WebSocket service is provided by the Desktop Connector. This communication channel is likely to be blocked by major browsers in the near future. It is not supported by Microsoft Edge. Note: The Legacy modes are no longer supported on macOS. This is due to the discontinuation in Mac browsers of support for NPAPI, which was used by the Legacy modes. Messaging Service Mode In Messaging Service mode, the BIOVIA web application communicates with the Desktop Connector via a Messaging Service. This is a web service specifically designed for relaying messages between a BIOVIA web application and the BIOVIA Desktop Connector. It provides a REST API for handling messages, and a SignalR service for sending notifications to clients. The Messaging Service is installed on Microsoft IIS. The Messaging Service mode can be used with major browsers on Windows and Apple macOS computers. It is not currently available for Opera. Notes: If the application that uses the Messaging Service is installed on Linux (for example, Pipeline Pilot Server), the Messaging Service must be installed on a separate Windows Server computer. Because the Desktop Connector is always used in the context of a BIOVIA web application, users should consult the documentation for that application for full details of browser compatibility.

  • A Web Desktop Or Webtop Is a Desktop Environment Embedded in a Web Browser Or Similar Client Application
    II BASIC THEORY II.1 What is Web Desktop? A web desktop or webtop is a desktop environment embedded in a web browser or similar client application. A webtop integrates web applications, web services, client-server applications, application servers, and applications on the local client into a desktop environment using the desktop metaphor. Web desktops provide an environment similar to that of Windows, Mac, or a graphical user interface on Unix and Linux systems. It is a virtual desktop running in a web browser. In a webtop the applications, data, files, configuration, settings, and access privileges reside remotely over the network. Much of the computing takes place remotely. The browser is primarily used for display and input purposes. II.2 History In the context of a web desktop, the term Webtop was first introduced by the Santa Cruz Operation (SCO) in 1994 for a web-based interface to their UNIX operating system. Andy Bovingdon and Ronald Joe Record, who both explored the concepts in different directions, are often credited as the inventors. II.3 About eyeOS eyeOS is an open source web desktop written in mainly PHP, XML, and JavaScript. It acts as a platform for web applications written using the eyeOS Toolkit. It includes a Desktop environment with 67 applications and system utilities. It is accessible by portable devices via internet. III.3 eyeOS Implementation III.3.1 Advantages of eyeOS • Convenience: A personalized desktop on every supported client device • Mobility: Access your desktop anywhere there is a supported client device • Session Management: Server-side session management allows roaming users to access restored sessions from anywhere III.3.2 Limitations Security: Due to the fact that all data is transferred over the internet, it might be possible for a hacker to intercept the connection and read data.

LUCRE stands for Local and User-Created Services. The project is part of the Flexible Services research programme, one of the programmes of the Strategic Centre for Science, Technology and Innovation in the ICT field (TIVIT) and funded by Tekes (the Finnish Funding Agency for Technology and Innovation) and the participating organizations. The Flexible Service Programme creates service business activity for global markets. The programme has the aim of creating a Web of Services. The programme creates new types of ecosystems, in which the producers of services, the people that convey the service and the users all work together in unison. As part of such ecosystems, LUCRE will develop an easy-to-use, visual service creation platform to support the creation of context aware mobile services. The goal is to support user-driven open innovation: the end- users (people, local businesses, communities) will be provided with tools to compose new services or to modify existing ones. The service creation platform will build on the technology of existing mashup tools, widget frameworks, and publish/subscribe mechanisms.

  • Web 2.0 Et Bibliothèques
    Web 2.0 et bibliothèques LOUKEM Mohamed El Hadi1 - ALIOUALI Nadia2 Division Recherche & Développement en Science de l’Information CERIST, 5, rue des trois frères Aissou, Ben-Aknoun, Alger, Algérie [email protected] , 2 [email protected] Résumé : Le monde de l’information connaît un contexte de transformations intenses. La dématérialisation de l’information et l’accès via internet participent à rendre les bibliothèques de moins en moins visibles et incitent l’usager à se détourner des médiateurs traditionnels d’informations. Le web 2.0 est un nouveau genre collaboratif en ligne. Nombreuses sont les bibliothèques qui expérimentent aujourd’hui son lot d’usages informationnels. L’objectif est d’améliorer leurs moyens de communication afin de se positionner comme un membre actif des communautés développées et œuvrer pour l’échange et le partage d’information. Le succès du web 2.0 nécessite une analyse afin de tenter de définir un concept fortement employé depuis quelques années mais, il est très difficile de déterminer les frontières tant théoriques que techniques. Nous proposons dans cet article une synthèse sur ce phénomène, ses usages et son impact sur les bibliothèques. Mots : clés : web social; web 2.0; outils du web social; usages; bibliothèque. Introduction L’émergence du web 2.0 est apparue comme un nouveau bouleversement majeur. Symbolisé par quelques applications phares, comme Youtube, Wikipedia, MySpace ou encore les blogs, le web 2.0 regroupe en réalité un ensemble de pratiques considérées comme nouvelles. Toutes sont basées sur le retour de l’usager au cœur des dynamiques de production et d’échange de contenu.

  • Mapping Web Personal Learning Environments
    Mapping Web Personal Learning Environments Matthias Palmér1,Stéphane Sire2,Evgeny Bogdanov2, Denis Gillet2 and Fridolin Wild3 1 Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), Stockholm, Sweden, [email protected] 2 École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Lausanne, Switzerland, {stephane.sire, evgeny.bogdanov, denis.gillet}@epfl.ch 3 The Open University, Milton Keynes, United Kingdom, [email protected] Abstract.A recent trend in web development is to build platforms which are carefully designed to host a plurality of software components (sometimes called widgets or plugins) which can be organized or combined (mashed-up) at user's convenience to create personalized environments. The same holds true for the web development of educational applications. The degree of personalization can depend on the role of users such as in traditional virtual learning environment, where the components are chosen by a teacher in the context of a course. Or, it can be more opened as in a so-called personalized learning environment (PLE). It now exists a wide array of available web platforms exhibiting different functionalities but all built on the same concept of aggregating components together to support different tasks and scenarios. There is now an overlap between the development of PLE and the more generic developments in web 2.0 applications such as social network sites. This article shows that 6 more or less independent dimensions allow to map the functionalities of these platforms: the screen dimensionmaps the visual integration, the data dimension mapsthe portability of data, the temporal dimension mapsthe coupling between participants, the social dimension maps thegrouping of users, the activity dimension mapsthe structuring of end users’ interactions with the environment, and the runtime dimensionmaps the flexibility in accessing the system from different end points.

  • Blogging for Engines
    BLOGGING FOR ENGINES Blogs under the Influence of Software-Engine Relations Name: Anne Helmond Student number: 0449458 E-mail: [email protected] Blog: http://www.annehelmond.nl Date: January 28, 2008 Supervisor: Geert Lovink Secondary reader: Richard Rogers Institution: University of Amsterdam Department: Media Studies (New Media) Keywords Blog Software, Blog Engines, Blogosphere, Software Studies, WordPress Summary This thesis proposes to add the study of software-engine relations to the emerging field of software studies, which may open up a new avenue in the field by accounting for the increasing entanglement of the engines with software thus further shaping the field. The increasingly symbiotic relationship between the blogger, blog software and blog engines needs to be addressed in order to be able to describe a current account of blogging. The daily blogging routine shows that it is undesirable to exclude the engines from research on the phenomenon of blogs. The practice of blogging cannot be isolated from the software blogs are created with and the engines that index blogs and construct a searchable blogosphere. The software-engine relations should be studied together as they are co-constructed. In order to describe the software-engine relations the most prevailing standalone blog software, WordPress, has been used for a period of over seventeen months. By looking into the underlying standards and protocols of the canonical features of the blog it becomes clear how the blog software disperses and syndicates the blog and connects it to the engines. Blog standards have also enable the engines to construct a blogosphere in which the bloggers are subject to a software-engine regime.
